A few weeks ago my husband and I went with our friends Doug and Jenny to our first Savannah Bananas baseball game and had a blast! You can read all about it here. I promised you that I’d come back and tell you about the nachos! BEHOLD!!! Behold, garbage can nachos! This masterpiece included chopped hamburgers, hot dogs, and jalapenos atop three orders of nachos, all served on a trash can lid! All of this for only $20, and the…

Two months ago I created a list of things I wanted to do this summer. One month ago I shared my first update, and now it’s time for me to evaluate how I did during the second month of this project! Pantry: Reorganize my pantry. I’ve made a LOT of progress! I originally planned to empty the whole thing then reload it, but I’ve ended up tackling one area at a time. It looks a lot better! I may still…

Last night we went with some good friends to see our first Savannah Bananas baseball game and had a blast! I’m not really a fan of baseball, but I rapidly became a Bananas fan! The Savannah Bananas?!? I can hear you rolling your eyes! It’s a horrible name, right?!? Alas. This is what happens with the public is allowed to vote on the name of the team. (Whose idea was it to trust “the people” with such an important decision?!?…

One of the most exciting things we did during our Alaska adventure was kayaking on Prince William Sound! WHAT?? I had never once thought about kayaking in Alaska, but as I was planning our trip I ran across kayaking tours offered by Sound Paddler. I mentioned them to Gene, and he said, “BOOK IT!” So I did! We took the 8:30 AM tunnel to Whittier, and Sound Paddler greeted us at the shop as soon as we got there. Turns…

A few days ago I told you about the tiny town of Whittier, Alaska. We went there to take a glacier cruise, and I’m SO excited to tell you all about it! We took the 26 Glacier Cruise with Phillips Cruises & Tours. It. Was. Amazing. Truly! This was a splurge, and it was worth every penny. We spent 5 hours exploring the beautiful Prince William Sound. Glaciers! We saw LOTS of glaciers, and the captain got us within 1000…

Spring is officially here, and I’m pretty excited about it! Autumn fashion rocks my world. It rocks my world for MONTHS since I live in Coastal Georgia. (No winter here!) Now it’s time to change things up. We’ll have highs in the 80s all week, so it’s DEFINITELY time to change things up in a springtime direction! My spring wardrobe could benefit from just a little updating. Know what I mean? I finally got a good handle on my wardrobe…

When I shared my Springtime Fun List with you I admitted that I had gotten a head start on it. THIS–attending our first Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade–is one of biggest things Gene and I decided to do this spring…even though it happened a few days before spring actually began.

December is a perfect month for some fun, lighthearted reading, am I right? Of course, right! And what a bonus if the books are ALSO powerful, funny, well-written, and clean. I recently discovered new-to-me author Chautona Havig, and I’m just loving her stuff. She summarizes her writing as “Christian fiction without apology or pretense — lived, not preached.” That PERFECTLY describes her books! Check out her bio and blog here. I’ve been binge reading her Christmas stories. So far I’ve…

With all the visual and written media flying around these days, it can be hard to decide what to choose, what might be worth a little of our precious time. Behold! The Read::Watch::Listen::Follow link up! My friend Sheila hosts this every month, and the linked posts are chock full of great recommendations. Here are mine for this month. READ: I’ve read some GREAT books over the last few weeks! I plan to post my “Books Read in November” list tomorrow,…

A few weeks ago I talked about how much I love Plan To Eat, a program that allows me to easily capture and file recipes I find online. It’s also a fantastic meal planning and shopping tool. Here’s some big news! PLAN TO EAT IS AVAILABLE AT HALF PRICE THIS WEEKEND! This is the only time you can save on this amazing tool. Read my post about it here. Then click HERE to check it all out! This is a…
